You pick off two of the Chagarashi leaders with ease (erase 2 Arrows from your Action Chart), but you do not have enough time or Arrows to kill all of the Skarada that are following them. There are more than a hundred Skarada assaulting this section of the town’s perimeter wall!

None of the militiamen are armed with bows, so you order them to keep their heads below the parapet and prepare to strike hard the moment the enemy show themselves.

‘Don’t let them take the parapet walkway!’ you shout.

The remaining Chagarashi lead the attack on the North wall. They leap up and sink their talons deep into the logs and cling on tightly as the Skarada use them like scaling ladders, clambering up their backs to reach the top of the wall.

You unsheathe your Kai Weapon and join the militiamen crouching along the parapet walkway. The instant the clawed hands and head of the first Skarad appear above the parapet, you spring to your feet and strike.

Skarad: COMBAT SKILL 42 ENDURANCE 40

You may add +3 to your COMBAT SKILL in the first round of this combat. The Skarad is unable to retaliate in the first round as it has not cleared the wall, therefore you should ignore any ENDURANCE loss you sustain in the initial round.

If you win this combat, turn to 68.
